For 41-year-old Horizon Roofing, the focus has shifted from not only doing quality work, but also providing quality workers.

Using its steady 30 percent annual growth as a springboard, the company has built a 3,000-square-foot training center inside its Brooklyn Center headquarters. The center runs an accelerated training program that promises to take workers to journeyman level in less time than other available programs.

“Instead of counting on someone else to develop our workers, we figured we would do it ourselves,” said Kurt Scepaniak, Horizon president and CEO. “I decided to put my money where my mouth was. We’re able to bring them in and train them faster, which lets them be successful sooner.”

The company, which anticipates $30 million in revenue this year, plans to reach out to veterans’ groups, inner-city organizations, technical colleges, high schools and more, appealing to the desire for success with the potential of a six-figure salary in commercial construction.

The company is also in the process of setting up a nonprofit, the Scepaniak Enrichment Center, to direct Horizon profits toward workforce development and children’s organizations.

Horizon is a company that believes that no idea is too out of the ordinary to be considered. It offers a $500 bounty to anyone who can find a roof leak the company can’t fix. And as one of the few contractors with a full-time programmer, the company claims it has one of the best reporting systems in its industry, thanks in part to more than half a million dollars it has invested in reporting technologies.

“What stands out for us is our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, said Scepaniak, who got his first roofing job at age 12. “I know every company says that, but we have the awards to prove it.”
